By On December 23, ServiceNow announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire Armis for $7.75 billion in cash. Armis, a leader in cyber exposure management and cyber-physical security, manages cyber risk across the full attack surface in IT, operational technology (OT), and other environments for companies, governments, and critical infrastructure worldwide. The acquisition will expand ServiceNow’s security workflow offerings and advance AI-native, proactive cybersecurity and vulnerability response across all connected devices. Together, ServiceNow and Armis will create a unified, end-to-end security exposure and operations stack that can see, decide, and act across the entire technology footprint by connecting real-time asset discovery, threat intelligence, and risk prioritization with automated remediation and response workflows.
The acquisition of Armis will extend and enhance ServiceNow’s Security, Risk, and OT portfolios in critical and fast-growing areas of cybersecurity and drive increased AI adoption by strengthening trust across businesses’ connected environments. With ServiceNow’s Security and Risk business crossing the $1 billion annual contract value (ACV) threshold in third quarter 2025, ServiceNow has already established itself as a security leader. This strategic acquisition is expected to more than triple ServiceNow’s market opportunity for security and risk solutions and accelerate ServiceNow’s roadmap to autonomous proactive cybersecurity.
“ServiceNow is building the security platform of tomorrow,” said Amit Zavery, president, chief operating officer, and chief product officer at ServiceNow. “In the agentic AI era, intelligent trust and governance that span any cloud, any asset, any AI system, and any device are non-negotiable if companies want to scale AI for the long-term. Together with Armis, we will deliver an industry-defining strategic cybersecurity shield for real-time, end-to-end proactive protection across all technology estates. Modern cyber risk doesn’t stay neatly confined to a single silo, and with security built into the ServiceNow AI Platform, neither will we.”
“AI is transforming the threat landscape faster than most organizations can adapt. Every connected asset has become a potential point of vulnerability,” said Yevgeny Dibrov, co-founder and CEO, Armis. “We built Armis to protect the most critical environments and give both public and private sector organizations the real-time intelligence they need to stay ahead – so they can see their entire environment clearly, understand risk in context, and take action before an incident occurs. Together with ServiceNow, customers will have a powerful new way to reduce their exposure and strengthen security at scale.”
Armis extends the full lifecycle of cyber exposure management, discovering assets in real-time and prioritizing the highest risk issues. Armis’ security products will pair with ServiceNow workflows to drive end-to-end protection and lifecycle action including in industries with cyber-physical assets so security teams stay ahead of threat actors rather than react after breaches occur. By connecting Armis’ capabilities and unique dataset to the ServiceNow AI Control Tower – which onboards, governs, and manages AI across the enterprise – ServiceNow builds on its broader security investments and the critical need for end-to-end exposure management and identity governance in AI security.
